Synopsis
Excerpt from The A B C of Taxation: With Boston Object Lessons, Private Property in Land, and Other Essays and Addresses
Twelve years of zealous study and discussion of the subject of taxation have brought me at last to what should have been my starting point - what, as it now appears to me, should be the starting point of every student, to wit: the recognition that invest ments in land are exempt from taxation. The desire to make the path smoother and shorter for those who follow me is the reason for bringing together in a single volume these hitherto scattered miscellanies.
Notwithstanding their desultory form, these essays, discussions, and illustrations present What are in my judgment the fundamental issues in the field of taxa tion, and I am proud to say that most of the specific views herein expressed have had the substantial approval of a majority of the prominent teachers of political economy.
Although most of the matter contained in this volume has previously appeared in print, any value that it ever had is here enhanced by revision of figures and conclusions to date. When referring to Henry George's views, I have taken pains to give What I believe to have been his final judgments, making the writer of mature age the interpreter of his own earlier masterpiece.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of taxation, particularly concerning the value and taxation of land. It posits that the value of land, or ground rent, is a social product, created by the collective efforts and expenditure of a community, such as the provision of infrastructure, education, and public services. The author argues that, unlike other forms of income, ground rent is fundamentally unearned by landowners and, as such, is a legitimate and proper source of tax revenue. The book challenges the common misconception that a tax on land can be shifted to tenants, demonstrating through economic analysis and practical examples that the selling value of land is reduced by the capitalised value of any tax imposed on it, rather than being passed on to renters. This insight has significant implications for tax policy and landownership, potentially leading to a fairer distribution of wealth and more equitable taxation systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331436317_0
